Made that clarification more clear in the description, thanks.

"Thumbstick toggles between zoom control and engine/radar control for any aircraft that has it."

Should say thumbstick click, but still, it's right there

@Brayden T
just press down the stick once - then it changes between zooming and operating vtol capability

i dont know if anyone has this problem but this mod basically disables any VTOL plane from using its VTOL becasue of that can you make a condition to where it needs to have SOI to zoom (so when it doesnt have SOI on anything we can move our nozzle down )

@Karvey it works fine for me, make sure you enable it and actually start the game with the mod loader. It only doesn't work on helicopters

am not able to get this mod to work on the f-16 /a-10 or any other vehicle in game

Alright that should be fixed now. Hopefully I didn't break anything.

EF24G Radar buged after last update, cant control radar from both seats

Hi,
thank you non the less for the great mod - its definitely one of the most essential ones. It seems like you didnt upload the latest version to Github.

Apologies to anyone who was waiting for a heli compat update.

Alright, there's been a fix for RADAR slewing and I've disabled the RADAR zoom using thumbstick, since it's kinda redundant. This is probably the last update I'm going to make for a while, since I've kinda lost passion for this project. I might come back to it later, but in the meanwhile, all of the code is on github if anyone wants to take a crack at it. Cheers.

Any update on the helicopter radar and TGP fix? This mod is so essential I almost can't play without it anymore

would be nice if this was fixed. need to operate the radar.

can confirm that radar control doesn't work in either the 26 or 55

also would it be possible to have a HUD status indicator and or indicator light somewhere obvious in the cockpit to let us know at a glance if we're in zoom mode or engine/radar mode?

Thanks, this is a great mod and I'm happy to say I was it's first sub less than 5 min after release lol. been using it since the very beginning and I consider it a staple mod! cheers!

I can confirm that radar slewing is not working in the 26, at least as of when I discovered so last night. it might have also not worked in the 55, but I don't remember for sure. I'll test this evening and report back here what I find

I'm working on heli compat right now, for both the dragonfly and the modded one. I'll try to identify that bug and patch it with the heli compat update. I have a feeling I know the culprit.

I've been having problems with the helicopter MFD head tracking not working sometimes. Not sure if this mod is the cause but it's the only one that touches this stuff afaik. Someone posted the same issue on the utility button mod but I don't have that one. Anyone else experiencing this?

It has come to my attention that I may have accidentally disabled radar slewing on the F/A-26B. I'm looking into it soon.

It should be default lol,
Nice.

Alright guys, new update. I've fixed the bug that Laniakea was talking about with the AI AV-42C's. Let me know if it continues. I've also disabled the thumbstick click on vehicles like the F/A-26B and others that don't have VTOL capability, since there's nothing else bound.
Let me know if there's any more issues.

@octxly I know, I'm a software developer too, I know that feeling, lol. Keep up the great work, cheers.

So after further investigation...I am really stumped. For me, whenever the mod is active, the AV-42Cs in the Open Water mission seem to take off into the stratosphere, never able to transition to forward flight. Even disabling all of the mod's functionality doesn't make a difference. I'll try to recreate the bug again, but I have no idea

I seem to be overriding the AI's controls lmao. I'll push out a patch soon

@octxly After some tests, I can confirm that if I click the thumbstick in the middle of the mission, that indeed changes the behavior of the AI AV-42. It feels like when ever the AI is struggling, I just need to click the thumbstick once to make them happy, after a while they start to wobble again I just need to click the thumb one more time to let them happy. But I can't monitoring them all the time over the entire mission.

@Laniakea, does it change if you click the thumbstick?
I think I may have accidentally overrode the AI's flight controls instead of just the player's.

I'm looking into that now.

In missions the NPC controlled AV-42C got f*cked by this mod. If you play AV-42C single player Islands mission "Open Water", the other two AV-42C controled by computer are flying like crazy and will never trigger the next mission objective, making the mission not doable, must disable this mod to fix.

is it possible to make this work with the s-cam, like the camcorder?

why is this not base game lol

Thanks for the toggle!

@octxly, could you please enable the jamming feature on the F-45 to the Y button?

Is chaff/flare button able to be modded to always work regardless of you holding onto the throttle?

Alright, alternate thumbstick fingerings have now been moved to a toggle. Should help VTOL players.

I'm investigating better configs and settings right now, will add some options requested sometime hopefully soon.

@Dauby09 +

I agree with @Curlain that radar should stay elevation as the default, at least in slew mode, range zoom is less important. Other than that the mod is great.

@octxly you wrote earlier that you are working on something. What is it?

:)

AV-42C and AH-94 bugs have been patched

I found another bug: the radar tilt via the stick doesn't work for the co-pilot of the AH-94.

Thanks for all of the feedback, I'm taking the feedback into consideration

@octxly For some reason, the AV-42 zoom is very fast and it is difficult to play with it :(

I didn't know how much I was missing this feature, thank you. Would it be possible to set throttle stick click to a toggle between zoom and engine tilt? Holding the stick down while tilting the engine doesn't feel great

regarding the radar slewing: you can zoom in and out in the radar view by moving the cursor to the top and bottom already. so we dont really need the left stick to zoom in and out here. it can still be used for slewing the radar.
However changing it to hold stick to slew is still consistent with the rest of the mod.

And what exactly or is it a surprise?

I'm already working on something like that right now.

For example GPS-send, and GPS-acquire when hold

Can you make a separate mod that prescribes a left free button for something useful?

With a mod like this....how am I supposed to play Vanilla VTOL?!
